OpenBuilds Workbee 1510 (60" x 40") CNC
***Current lead time for machine bundle orders to ship is 2-3 weeks ***
The Workbee (assembly required) is a super strong, accurate and easy to assemble CNC machine!
The Workbee design gains its strength by incorporating a combination of C-Beam Linear Rail with abundant use of the full size Xtreme Solid V wheels! The custom gantry plate design incorporates bolt patterns for use with either belt driven or lead screw driven set-ups on the X and/or Y axis which give you additional options if you decide to change the axis length in the future. It’s a great machine and we're sure you will love it!
The OpenBuilds Workbee is based on the open source Workbee CNC Machine design by Ryan Lock of UK-based Ooznest and has become a favorite on OpenBuilds with many different variations and modifications shared.
Specifications:
| Travel (Work Area) |
X Axis 32" (824mm) Y Axis 50" (1280mm) Z Axis 3" (~76mm) |
| Overall Machine Base Footprint | ~60" x 40" (1500mm x 1000mm) |
| Workable Material Height |
1.75” ( ~44mm ). Based on a 1/2" spoiler board stack (The location of the X-axis drive motor and pulley reduce the workable material height from the 3.25" (~82mm) height possible on the Workbee 1050 and 1010 models. It is possible to switch the X-axis of the 1510 to a screw driven set-up like the smaller models and gain additional Z axis travel if you don't exceed 32" on the X-axis) |
| Drive System: | X/Y-axis Belt Driven GT3 timing belts Z-axis Lead Screw Driven |
| Machine Accuracy | X/Y Axis = 0.003"~0.007" (0.10mm~0.20mm) Z Axis = 0.001"~0.003" (0.05mm~0.10mm) |
| Compatible materials for cutting/milling | Aluminum, Softwoods/Hardwoods, Acrylic/Plexi-glass, Delrin, HDPE, Foam, and more |
